Not in public domain. There is no Freedom of Panorama for commercial exploitations of images of copyrighted monuments and buildings of the Philippines. The English Wikipedia article implies the façade has changed after 1960s, and its belfry is apparently 1970s. Worse, its façade as well as interior were altered during 2000s. Fails {{PD-Philippines-FoP work}} cutoff date of December 1972. No more traces of public-domain Spanish or American-era architecture, and the cathedral has become a copyrighted work of architecture.

  •  Keep. I don't see any evidence that the core architectural work has changed. The renovation information lists no new architect. New stonework and woodwork is not sufficient to create a new architectural copyright for the building. IronGargoyle (talk) 01:32, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
    @IronGargoyle I think the renovations are sufficient enough to have altered architecture. An old image sourced from the city website (now hosted here as File:Dipolog Cathedral undated.jpg) apparenty shows a radically-different entrance. Combined with the noted bell tower that dates to the 1970s, it is reasonable to assume that the cathedral's architecture is no longer the Spanish-era architecture and is under architectural copyright (if anonymous, then 50 years from publication or completion).

Kept: per IronGargoyle, it is very likely that File:Dipolog Cathedral undated.jpg is a side entrance. There are side entrances as seen from the interior. It is unlikely that the enormous porch on the facade has been introduced in a restauration project. --Ellywa (talk) 08:58, 29 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
